Speeches by Wrigley.

“I will take a slot as soon as I possibly can, wherever that slot may be, and I will be grateful for whatever I can receive.”

“It is interesting, because I think it is a DEFRA Act, but it impacts MHCLG. I think that DEFRA is probably the responsible Department, because it is flood and water management, which would be DEFRA by title.”

“I thank the Home Secretary for sharing her experiences earlier and thoroughly condemn the sort of behaviour she described. It is unacceptable in any case. The Secretary of State described rapid decisions on appeals. Does she also believe, as I do, that rapid decision making on the initial application of asylum seekers …”

“The biggest issue in my inbox is the cost of living and the cost of energy in particular. In the south-west, we are a net contributor to renewable energy, and we could do even more with tidal power investment. Yet our energy bills are higher than the national average. In my Newton Abbot constituency, we have higher fue…”

“I welcome the Minister’s acknowledgment that the need to stop the horror in Sudan is urgent, but while I hear much talk of continuing actions, nothing, other than an emergency meeting called today, seems to be happening urgently. What steps is he taking to change, to move forward, to try some new things, and to make so…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for bringing this really important topic. I suggest one additional thing he might feel that he needs to add: a sense of urgency to get this solution in place. Does he agree?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Murrison. I welcome the move to recognise standards mutually between Japan, Singapore and the UK. It is a clear statement that alignment of specifications and standards can help industry to thrive and is essential in this high-tech world. For many years, I worked in te…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Harris. I congratulate the hon. Member for Crawley (Peter Lamb) on securing this important debate. I have worked on this issue for some time, and I am really pleased that the Government are picking it up. I thank the Minister for engaging with it following my written …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Vaz. I congratulate the hon. Member for West Bromwich (Sarah Coombes) not only on securing this debate, but on her positive and optimistic vision of the future, which I really like. I think many of us have long had a vision of autonomous vehicles based on science ficti…”

“11. What changes have been made to the Access to Work scheme in this parliamentary Session.”

“On 20 May, I met the Minister to speak about Access to Work claims that were being denied, changed or reduced, all contrary to the guidelines. The Minister assured me that it was a communications issue, that the guidelines had not changed and that officials were going to fix the problems by speaking to the local jobcen…”

“I am very interested that you say that because some of the things that were described in the statements that were given to us in the Chamber were quite frightening. The right-to-work checks that were described were implied to include the ability to check on employers. That in itself therefore says that there will be a …”

“I would like to talk about digital ID, which is clearly very topical. It is interesting that you talk about having the ability to report problems and to acknowledge mistakes. One of the biggest barriers to innovation in this country is the fact that we continuously point fingers of blame and say, “You have failed,” rat…”

“It is career-limiting.”

“I am relieved to hear that you are now pursuing more DV staff, if you have not already got them, because the impression I got earlier was that you didn’t have any who could do it, so that is helpful. I am still concerned by your choice not to make any notes. What I heard—it may not have been what you implied—was that i…”

“Fining a profit-driven organisation can be impactful, but fining the MOD £350,000 is completely trivial and a waste of time and space, because you are fining a Government organisation to pay it back to the Government, which pays it back to a Government organisation. So, other than embarrassing a general, you will do no…”

“Chunking this up to a sort of systems question, a few things you have said profoundly disturb me, alongside the details. First, you said that this concerned top secret information and you did not have the people who could do it. Secondly, you said that because it required such a security clearance—I apologise for parap…”

“Of course it is. You look at the dystopian and work out how that is prevented.”

“How do you think the Government could ensure that we use this to keep existing data protection valid?”

“Will the Minister give way?”
